SCRIPTURE: And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. Genesis 13:14-15.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There are things God cannot give you until some things in your life are put behind you.
We have established in our previous studies that to maximize a new season, one thing to do is to identify what to thank God for in the previous season.
Now, another thing to do to maximize a new season is to, identify what to put behind you.
To maximize a new season, you must identify your “posteriority”, that is, what to put behind you.
Paul, in Philippians 3:13, said:
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.
It is very important to understand that to access what is ahead of you, there are things to put behind you.
Genesis 13:14-15 says:
And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
Beloved, there are things God cannot give you until some things in your life are put behind you.
Let me ask you a question: what did Lot add to Abraham’s life? Nothing! Rather, he engaged Abraham in strife.
What God expects you to put behind you may be a habit, a business type, a relationship, a connection or an association like that of Lot and Abraham. God expects you to put behind you, anything that takes your time, energy, resources, attention, and thought without adding any value to your life.
To maximize this new season, this New Year, you must put behind you anything that does not add value to your life, dream and relationship with God.
REMEMBER THIS: There are things God cannot give you until some things in your life are put behind you.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Identify what to put behind you to access what is ahead of you.
- Leave your past at your past and focus on God for the unveiling of your future.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace and discipline to identify what to put behind me so I can access my future. I receive the discipline to make these amends, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
